Celebration of Newtonmas
On the last day of school before Sir Isaac Newton's birthday, December 25th, physics classes visit other science classes, the main office and other places where we are invited to sing Newtonmas carols. Some of these "carols" were written by students in Mansfield, but the majority were found on other sites on the internet. Credit is given to those schools (or students) where some songs were found. Occasionally a few words were changed either for rhyme or to make it more appropriate to Mansfield High. Rhyme and meter of the songs are as good as the writers made them. We have a personal affection for the sound of "Gravity," "We three quarks," and "Here in static equilibrium."
To celebrate, we also deliver apples (what else?) to every faculty member in the school with a card for Newtonmas. The AP Physics class usually makes all those deliveries. Occasionally we have goodies in class, apple newtons, apple chips, apple pie and apple juice are the most appropriate.
Click here for a pdf copy of the Newtonmas Carols from 2007
Below is a copy of the "Newtonmas Card" which accompanies the delivery of the apples.
Gravity
(sung to "Jingle Bells")
by Alvin Lee, Wakefield High School, Arlington VA, 1982
A comet hit the earth;
It’s made of methane ice.
It makes a giant force.
Now, isn’t that so nice?
What made it come here thus?
What made it hit the earth?
The answer’s very clear my friend.
It fills you up with mirth.
O-o-o-o-oh!
Gravity, gravity,
Keeps us on the ground.
An apple fell on Newton’s head,
What goes up comes down.
O-o-o-o-oh
Gravity, gravity,
Mass times nine point eight
Remember travel very fast
If earth you must escape.
Walk around the earth.
Keep a steady pace.
If gravity weren’t here
You’s float away in space.
Call it what you want,
Call it any name.
This force is sure a heavy weight.
Attraction is its game.
O-o-o-o-oh!
Gravity, gravity,
Keeps us on the ground.
An apple fell on Newton’s head,
What goes up comes down.
O-o-o-o-oh
Gravity, gravity,
Mass times nine point eight
Remember travel very fast
If earth you must escape.
Alternate Beginning
When something hits the earth,
You'll notice in a trice,
It makes a great big bang,
Now isn't that so nice?
So what makes things fall down?
What makes them go ker-plop?
The answer's in this song, my friend,
We'll sing it 'till we drop.
Tycho, the Psycho
(sung to "Frosty, the Snowman")
Tycho, the psycho, was a jolly Danish soul.
With an astrolabe and a golden nose; to view the stars his goal.
To observe the stars, he built a lab in Uraniborg.
To find out more on the internet, type Tycho dot org.
There must have been some method in his observations ‘cause
When Kepler stole them from the lab, out popped Kepler’s Laws.
Tycho, the Psycho, never saw a telescope,
But his measurements were so darn good, we know he was no dope.
Jared, the Big-Mouthed Student
(sung to "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer") Michael Atwood, Mansfield, MA, 2000
Jared, the big-mouthed student,
Had very spikey hair.
And if you add Mike Wilkins,
You get Mr. G.’s nightmare.
None of the other students
Could get any class work done.
They were constantly distracted,
By Mike and Jared’s pun.
Then one freezing winter day,
Mr. G. saved them all,
He took Michael Wilkin’s desk,
And put it in the hall.
Then, all of the other students,
Could finally get to work.
They were very grateful,
Especially, Jason Burke.
Oh, Rest Ye Merry Physicists
(sung to "God, Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen")
(Jared Goldman Mansfield, MA 1998)
Oh, rest ye merry physicists
May nothing you dismay
For gravity was discovered
Here on Newtonmas Day
The idea, it was first conceived,
By Newton with his apple,
Chorus:
Oh, oh Newton discovered gravity, gravity
Oh, oh Newton discovered gravity
Because of this force gravity
What goes up can’t stay there
Two unhindered particles will
Meet ‘cause gravity’s there.
And ‘though its magnitude may change
Its effect is always there.
Deck the Physics Lab
(sung to "Deck the Halls")
by the physics students of Frankfurt American High School, Frankfurt Germany, 1977
Deck the physics lab with lenses. Fa, la, la...
Light bends more when they are densest. Fa, la, la...
We can now observe reflection. Fa, la, la...
Not to mention its direction. Fa, la, la...
Stroboscopes are swiftly turning. Fa, la, la...
While our eager minds are learning. Fa, la, la...
Light diffraction we can now see. Fa, la, la...
See how fun our physics can be. Fa, la, la...
We Three Quarks
(sung to "We Three Kings") Fairfield, VA
We three quarks fine particles are.
Bearing charm we travel afar.
Fields and forces, spin of course is
Multiplied by h-bar.
Oh, Quarks are wondrous, quarks are light.
Quarks have colors, clear and bright.
Still misleading, still exceeding
All the physicists' insight.
We three quarks trade gluons all day.
All baryons are made in this way.
Confined inside, we always hide
Unseen forever stay.
Oh, quarks are wondrous, quarks are light.
Quarks stay smugly out of sight.
Still misleading, still exceeding
All the physicists' insight.
Rest Ye Merry Physics Profs
(sung to "Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen") Fairfield, VA
God rest ye merry physics profs
Let nothing you dismay.
Don't moan or cry if you must all
Grade finals Newtonmas Day
To save you from the registrar
If grades aren't on the way.
Chorus:
O-oh, tidings of A's, B's and C's
Mostly C's
O-oh, tidings of A's, B's and C's
Deck the Halls
(sung to "Deck the Halls") Fairfield, VA
Deck the halls with spools of wire. Fa, la, la...
My oscilloscope's on fire. Fa, la, la...
Who has taken my resistors? Fa, la, la...
Sing a song of bad transistors. Fa, la, la...
Fill the lab with new amplifiers. Fa, la, la...
My new circuit has no wires. Fa, la, la...
All the Op-Amps have no gain. Fa, la, la...
Electronics is a pain. Fa, la, la...
Work till midnight, then work longer. Fa, la, la...
Watch that circuit still get stronger. Fa, la, la...
If it has a major defect. Fa, la, la...
Fix it as an Honors project. Fa, la, la...
Shoot the walls with Star Wars' phasers. Fa, la, la...
Made from Hunter's diode lasers. FA, la, la...
Though they glow with opalescence. Fa, la, la...
Still can't see the darn fluorescence. Fa, la, la...
Photocells
(sung to "Jingle Bells") Fairfield, VA
Dashing through space-time, at the speed of light
Through vector fields we go, with our colors bright.
Keeping constant speed, in every frame is right
Oh, what fun it is to be a photon in the night.
Chorus:
Decibels, Photo-cells! Now, I'm going to lase.
Oh, what fun it is to be a boson in the rays.
Hey! Grad of dels, colored gels, diffraction gratings blaze.
Oh, what fun it is to be a boson in the rays.
Cut across the lab, by a mirror steered
Through the slits we go, nothing do we fear.
Back again we come, to the screen we've veered.
Oh, what fun it is to be a photon interfered.
Chorus:
Oh, Physics Book
(sung to "Oh, Christmas Tree!") Fairfield, VA
Oh, Physics book! Oh, Physics book! At last we have you with us.
You came to us so clean and new, too bad the quarter's almost through.
Oh, Physics book! Oh, Physics book! Where were you in September?
Without your help, we struggled through. We failed our test because of you.
Oh, Physics book! Oh, Physics book! You filled our hearts with anger!
Oh, Physics Problem Set of Mine
(sung to "Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem") Fairfield, VA
Oh, physics problem set of mine, you always seem so rough.
I don't know why light bends in glass, I guess I've had enough.
Yet, questions of refraction cover half the page.
My hopes and fears have added years to my once youthful age.
Oh, physics problem set of mine, I thought I had it made,
I worked all night to get you done and got a perfect grade.
Yet, with my perfect paper, I'm heading for a ledge;
Although I missed no problems, it's like standing on a wedge.
Galileo
(sung to: Little Drummer Boy) Kamehameha, HI
Come, he told me
pa rum pa pum pum
Four tiny moons to see
pa rum pa pum pum
Look through my telescope,
pa rum pa pum pum
They circle Jupiter,
pa rum pa pum pum
So much for Ptolemy,
pa rum pa pum pum
Wasn't he so dumb?
Take light and heavy balls,
pa rum pa pum pum
Drop them from Pisa’s walls
pa rum pa pum pum
They're falling just the same,
pa rum pa pum pum
I really like this game,
pa rum pa pum pum
Aristotle's all wrong,
pa rum pa pum pum
Wasn't he so dumb?
Rest Ye Merry Physicist
(sung to "Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen") Fairfield, VA
God rest ye merry physicist, let nothing you dismay
Our brand new physics book arrived on this auspicious day.
To save us all from grief and pain that comes each testing day.
Refrain:
O-oh, pages of graphs and nodal lines, nodal lines.
O-oh, pages of graphs and nodal lines.
The onslaught of our physics test is terrible to hear,
But armed with our new physics book, we've nothing more to fear.
The vector graphs that horrified, now to our hearts are dear.
Refrain:
The wonders and the mysteries of light we never knew.
The wave form needs a medium, the particle model's through.
Diffraction and refraction and diffuse reflection too.
Refrain:
Physics, It's Not A Lie!
(sung to: Angels We Have Heard on High) Hazelwood, MO
Physics it is not a lie,
Study motion, sound and light.
If you think you have it made,
Wait until you see your grade.
Oh, o-o-o-o, Oh, o-o-o-o,
oh, o-o-o-o no-o,
Please give me at least a "B"
Oh, o-o-o-o, Oh, o-o-o-o,
oh, o-o-o-o no-o,
My parents can't take a "D."

What Class is This?
(sung to: What Child is This? or Greensleeves) Carolyn Benner, 1991, Granby, CT
What question's this. It makes no sense.
Oh, is it a lack of intelligence?
Believe me when I say it's true
That rotation will keep me after school.
This, this is physics class
Where we calculate force and mass.
Haste, haste, do not be late,
For labs we must simulate!
So bring your pen and pencil, too.
And your calculator will get you through.
Do not be 'fraid to square the V
Or combine Fc and change in d.
Facts, facts, you must know the truth
And show your work for credit and proof.
Hold dear to you, the physics array,
But remember gravity was born on Newtonmas Day!
Here comes Cavendish
(sung to: Here comes Santa Claus) Kamehameha, HI
Here comes Cavendish,
Here comes Cavendish
Right down Cavendish Lane--
Vixen Blitzen, and all the reindeer
Pullin' on the reins.
Cavendish knows the value of G
So all is merry and bright;
He found out experimentally
Being careful and he's right!
O Ptolemy
(sung to: O Christmas Tree) Kamehameha, HI
O Ptolemy, O Ptolemy,
your geocentric system,
O Ptolemy, O Ptolemy,
your geocentric system,
Explains retrograde motion
Through the use of epicycles--
O Ptolemy, O Ptolemy,
your geocentric system.
Nodal Lines
(sung to "Jingle Bells") Fairfield, VA
A day or two ago, I thought I'd check out light
To see if what I'd learned was absolutely right.
I held two pencils up, and put them near my eye,
And when I looked into the light, I knew it was no lie.
O-o-o-oh!
Nodal lines, nodal lines, shifting all in phase.
Oh, what fun it is to watch the pattern formed by waves.
Nodal lines, nodal lines, caused by bending light.
Oh, what fun diffraction is, unless the light's too bright.
Physics Class
(sung to: Silver Bells)
Physics class, physics class,
It's Newtonmas in physics class.
What is mass?
Will we pass?
Soon it will be Final time.
Physics problems,
we hate problems,
Stuck on frictional force;
In the lab, we're feeling confusion--
Many failing, few are passing,
Learning term after term,
And at every force vector
we scream.
I'll do Physics
(sung to: I'll Be Home For Christmas) Kamehameha, HI
I'll do physics this Christmas,
You can count on me.
I'll review, and study too,
And measure gravity.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the study lamp gleams;
I'll do physics this Christmas--
And also in my dreams!
Here in Static Equilibrium
(sung to "Winter Wonderland," starts with "Sleigh Bells Ring")
by Alvin Lee, Wakefield High School, Arlington VA, 1983
All my moments have been canceled,
Sum of forces is zero,
I'm fully inert, and doing no work,
Here in static equilibrium.
Every push meets another;
Every pull has a counter;
The state I allude is true lassitude;
Here in static equilibrium.
All my forces balance out exactly.
You can even put me to the test.
Push me out in any direction,
And you'll find I'll no longer be at rest.
Can't you see that I'm happy?
Sitting here, calm and mellow?
Don't want to go home, so leave me alone,
Here in static equilibrium.
God Rest Ye, Merry Polish Man
(sung to: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen) Kamehameha, HI
God rest ye merry Polish Man
Let nothing you dismay,
The Earth is not the center of
The universe, I say.
The Earth revolves about the sun--
It's easier that way...
O-o, tidings of Copernicus, Copernicus
O-o, tidings of Copernicus.
Deck the Labs II
(sung to: Deck the Halls) Kamehameha, HI
Deck the labs with Newton's Laws
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
You should study them because
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
They'll be on the physics test
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
You won't want to say you guessed--
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

The First Nodal
(sung to "The First Noel") Fairfield, VA
The first nodal, the teacher did say,
Was to certain poor students in labs as they play.
In lab as they, play, watching the light,
And arguing which one is wrong now or right.
Nodal, nodal, nodal, nodal,
Spilt is the water from our ripple tank.
Phrosty, the Photon
(sung to "Frosty, the Snowman") Fairfield, VA
Phrosty, the Photon was quite a quantum sight,
With zero mass, an endless life, and a speed approaching light.
There must have been some magic in the physics lab one year,
For when they studied X-ray beams, old Phrosty did appear.
Oh, Phrosty, the Photon says he knows he's not that large,
But he said one day if he comes this way, he'll give us all a charge.
Thumpity, thump, thump. Thumpity, thump, thump,
Moving fast as light.
Thumpity, thump, thump. Thumpity, thump, thump,
Phrosty's out of sight.
Newton's Laws
(sung to: Mele Kalikimaka) Kamehameha, HI
Objects in uniform motion
will remain that way,
On a bright Hawaiian Newtonmas Day,
Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force,
In the land where palm trees sway.
Here, we know that F = ma,
And for every force there is
an equal and opposite force.
Objects in uniform motion
are Isaac Newton's way
To say merry physics to you!
Aristotle
(sung to: Deck the Halls) Kamehameha, HI
Deck the Halls with Aristotle,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
He said that we have four elements,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
He's the guy with starry spheres,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
They're made out of quintessence,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
He thinks that heavy objects,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
Fall faster than the light ones,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
But we know he's full of baloney,
Fa la la la la, la la la la,
Galileo showed that' phoney,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tycho the Psycho
(sung to: Frosty the Snowman) Kamehameha, HI
Tycho the psycho,
was a jolly Danish soul,
With an astrolabe and a golden nose,
and two eyes as good as gold.
Tycho the psycho,
he built Uraniborg,
And when he was finally dead and gone,
They put him in the morgue.
There must have been
some method in
His observations, 'cause
when Kepler stole them from the lab
Out popped Kepler's Laws.
Tycho the psycho
never saw a telescope,
But his measurements were
so dog-gone good,
That we know he was no dope.
Kepler's Laws
(sung to: Jingle Bells) Kamehameha, HI
A day or two ago,
I thought of Kepler's first.
I was so dog-gone proud,
I thought that I would burst.
The orbit's an ellipse,
One focus is the sun,
That's his law of ellipses--
Now, isn't this good fun?
If we talk about
Planets 'round the sun,
T squared over R cubed,
Always equals one!
And if you draw a line,
Connecting both of these--
The space swept out in equal times
Is equal as two peas!
Chorus:
Kepler's Laws, Kepler's Laws,
Made black and white the gray.
Oh, what fun it is to think of
Kepler every day -- hey!
Kepler's Laws, Kepler's Laws,
Made black and white the gray.
Oh what fun it is to think of
Kepler every day.
I’m Dreaming of Physics
(sung to: White Christmas) Nancy Fung, 1997, Mansfield, MA
I’m dreaming of a physics problem,
Especially those solved with theorems.
Whether there is an X Y plane,
Or a complex collision train,
I’m hoping there’ll be an answer to find, to find.
I know there’s a holiday break,
There’ll be tons of snowballs to make.
But that won’t stop me,
From deriving freely.
I’ll stimulate my mind, my mind.
I’ll think of views of relativity,
And study superfluidity,
While drawing free body diagrams in the snow,
Trying to learn all there is to know.
And may I find a solution of every kind.

JAMES CLERK MAXWELL
(Tune: Good King Wenceslas)
North Arizona
University
James Clerk Maxwell did look out
On the fields of Faraday.
Where the charge lay round about
Scattered this and that‑a‑way.
Twisted boundaries in and out
Raised to strange potentials.
If solutions could be found,
It would be providential.
Then came four equations out
With assorted Theorems,
Complex singularities,
Maxwell didn't fear 'em.
Tamed the demons, wrote a book,
Set right former errors.
Gave to theorists pure delight,
And to students terrors!
Oh Gravity

Awake in the Library
( to the tune of "Away in a Manger" )
Awake in the library
Late Saturday night,
The poor physics majors
Pondered their plight.
The problem set lo-ong
and no end in sight.
Of all of the answers
Not one was right.
They used all the tricks that
The teachers had taught:
Expand about zero then
Drop x sub-naught.
Divide the right si-ide
By modulo z.
If that doesn’t work,
Let pi approach three.
So up in the library
At four in the morn,
The poor physics majors of
All hopes were shorn.
The sun rose that morning;
The stars went away.
But through their next classes
Asleep there they lay.
Refraction
(Melody: God Rest Ye merry, Gentlemen)
Light travels in straight lines,
that is unless somehow it’s turned.
It can reflect (or bounce right back),
But that’s quite eas’ly learned.
Refraction is the property
with which we’re now concerned:
Chorus:
Oh - Sine theta-one times index one
is equal to
Sine theta-two times index two!
Refraction is the bending
which is caused by changing speed.
When entering at an angle,
light will bend, and then proceed--
to travel in a new straight line,
wherever that may lead.
Oh - Sine theta-one times index one
is equal to
Sine theta-two times index two!
Now since the bending’s caused by changing speed, we have a clue
To calculate light’s speed in any medium, (it’s true!)
n-one v-one is equal to n-two times v-two.
Oh - Sine theta-one times index one
is equal to
Sine theta-two times index two!
When slowing down the light bends ‘toward the normal’ as they say.
When speeding-up it will bend from the normal away --
Until the angle critical is reached to our dismay!
Oh - Sine theta-one times index one
is equal to
Sine theta-two times index two!
